thanks in advance!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: A rather large group of Africans believed in a plurality of powers, including the forces of nature and a legion of magical spirits!. However, most tribes believed in a Supreme Being as the creator and giver, and considered life itself sacred!. The deeply spiritual Africans believed strongly that there was no separation between life on earth and the afterlife, since all life took place on a continuum, where every part directly affected every other part!. Those who lived good lives would please the spirits and reap rewards, but those who did evil risked angering the spirits and losing their protection!. Africans' belief in one Supreme Being, the distinction between good and evil, and the belief in creation as the work of one God were similar to the viewpoints of Christianity's and Islam's origins!. This similarity and the prior exposure many Africans had experienced with Christian and Muslim missionaries in Africa did much to lessen the cultural shock of white evangelicalism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Besides their no clothing traditions, self mutilation and male homosexualality (believing women are below them)!. I don't believe they have any sufficient traditions like other nations!. Any traditions they hold sacred today are those taken from other cultures!. It took Christian missionaries to bring any hope of religion to their tribes!. I mean look at them, their drinking out of the wells dug by Abraham!. FYI- Africans and Egyptians have no relation!. I've studied Egyptology for years and the Egyptians thought they were lazy and useless people!. The famouse N word was created by them, except it's not this hateful word black people want to think!. the N word actually means "MAN WITH BURNT FACE"! If you need more information look into books on world civilization and anthropology!. Once you get into college you can take in depth classes, to enhance your knowledge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Look up Anthony Browder!. He is a professor of Egyptology and African Culture!. His books are very easy reads but extremely informative!. Hopefully that should lead you into other avenues!. But I would definitely start thereWww@QuestionHome@Com |
